Interesting article on what happens to Linode's older servers What Happens to Linode’s Obsolete Servers After an Upgrade? – Medium

What happens to Linode servers in our datacenters once they’ve served their useful life? Once retired, where do our server hosts go? When Linode upgraded its fleet to SSDs from HDDs there must have been a lot of shuffling around of hardware in those server cabinets. Surprisingly, I’ve never really thought about it until now.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Alex Peña, a Linode research and development engineer, about this. Having been with Linode for nearly two years, Alex has witnessed entire datacenters come online, as well as overseen hundreds — if not thousands — of hosts being decommissioned. It would be safe to say he’s quite knowledgeable about the entire process.
